2009 marks the unholy return of Death Metal legends DETERIOROT, and they're doing it through XTREEM MUSIC!! Hailing from the early 90's NJ/NY scene together with bands like GOREAPHOBIA, MORTICIAN, IMMOLATION, REVENANT, INCANTATION, CEREMONIUM.... DETERIOROT released a demo in '92 and a 7"EP in '93 on Repulse Rec. (formerly Drowned, later Xtreem Music) and they were supposed to release their debut on the same label later in '94, but due to some internal problems both in the band & label, nothing happened until in 2001 the band finally released their full length album "In Ancient Beliefs". Later in '03, the band recorded their sophomore release "The Faithless", but another band split-up left the album unfinished until now, after summer 2009, XTREEM MUSIC got in touch with DETERIOROT's mainman Paul Zavaleta and agreeded to finish the recordings for this album to give it birth in early 2010.

The band is currently re-erecording all vocals, bass and some guitar lines as well as mixing and mastering the album to ensure their most dark and heavy release so far. "The Faithless" keeps all the trademarks of the band in terms of heaviness and brutality that always characterized their sound along with an unique voice that differs form the usual guttural growlings, and opting for a more evil and dark approach. Lovers of early INCANTATION stuff with a heavier and darker feel, with a hint of AUTOPSY and old Swedish & Finish Death Metal bands. will for sure praise DETERIOROT (in case they didn't already!!).

Although "The Faithless" will be released in early 2010, you can actually hear one advance song on the band's newly created official MySpace: www.myspace.com/deteriorotofficial Por: Xtreem Music

I think the vocals are great. They sound a bit like Damon Bloodstorm on Abominator's Damnations Prophecy (!!!!!), only a bit lower. Ferocious!

Along with Disciples of Mockery's Prelude To Apocalypse I prefer In Ancient Beliefs to many of Incantation copycats of today...!

If your a fan of the vocals, fair enough.

But Deteriorot began roughly the same time Incantation did it seems to me...so I wouldn't call them "of today"...and Disciples of Mockery has some ex-members of Incantation doesn't it? no surprise they sound like a good knockoff

True, not to mention Deteriorot and Incantation both formed in the same general area of New Jersey. A lot of bands in the NJ/NY area had similar sounds back in the day.
